Police closed Lower Road, where the collision occurred, for more than an hour while the man in his 60s was freed from underneath the car but pronounced dead at the scene.

There is a continued appeal for witnesses today and Surrey Police can be contacted on 101, quoting reference P14167834.

We can only hope the news today is less unhappy, but we will bring you all of it nevertheless.

ALL YOUR TRAFFIC: As well as a reminder of the big stories from yesterday and a fresh batch this morning, we'll have all the latest on Surrey's roads as commuters begin to set out on their journeys to work.

If there is anything that might slow you down out there, you'll here about it here.

I should imagine the A3 might get a mention at some point. Look at it, all innocent-looking in the sunshine, but you just know it has some mischief up its sleeve for later.

Alcohol will also not be served after 2.30am Mondays to Saturday but, weirdly, the club is now allowed to stay open half an hour later on a Sunday, until 11pm.

TRAFFIC: It's starting to warm up on the roads now. There is slow traffic on the clockwise M25 between junction 9 Leatherhead and junction 11 Chertsey.

Woodbridge Road in Guildford is also busy as traffic approaches York Road.

HEROIC FIREFIGHTER: An incredible story here. A firefighter has described the moment a two-year-old girl's heart started beating again after she was involved in a head-on collision in West Horsley last week.

TRAFFIC AND TRAINS: There is also traffic building up on the A3 northbound from the M25 down to Ripley Services.

The RedhillTravel Twitter feed has also just warned that the 8.09am train from Redhill to Bedford has been cancelled due to a fault.

TRAFFIC: A3 is slow northbound where Hog's Back feeds into it. Nothing surprising there, but I find myself disappointed that what looked like being a brilliant day on the roads is turning into business as usual.

Queueing traffic on the M25 anticlockwise between junction 13 Staines and junction 12 for the M3 too.

FOOTBALL MAD: Now I consider myself quite a big football fan, but I don't think my fiancée would be too impressed if I took things to this level.

Tommy Achenbach was shopping at the time and rushed to help the man, in his 60s, who was taken to hospital afterwards as a precaution.

“Everyone was panicking but I kept calm and cut his seat belt," he said.

FREE ALCOHOL: Made you look. It seems the law has finally caught up with a furniture shop in Farnham that has courted controversy for years by charging customers for beer mats rather than beer to avoid licensing laws.

Innsatiable, in Woolmead, opened in July 2012 and gave away 'free' beer using the unusual and cheeky legal loophole. Needless to say, it divided opinion.

The 'pub' irked Jeremy Hunt MP a couple of years ago and he tried to get the place shut down.

Well, long story short, it seems Surrey Police has at last found a way of stopping the behaviour, and has taken to Twitter to celebrate.

Police successful in getting closure order granted against Innsatiable, Farnham for operating without premises license. #zerotolerance

SWANS SAVED: You'll be pleased to hear that those swans and their cygnets that were waddling in and out of the road like nobody's business in Walton-on-Thames earlier (see 7.40am) have now been brought to safety.

Good news! The swans and their cygnets who were having a walkabout in #Walton have been safely relocated to the river by the @Swan_Sanctuary
